Common Roots is a podcast run by the wife-and-wife team of Caitlin and Cheshire. We are American-born residents of the beautiful seaside community of Brighton in the UK. Caitlin is a practicing herbalist and Cheshire is a history buff. We are both seekers of justice and knowledge. Each episode dives into plant-based medicine, complementary medicines, the history of healthcare, and more. Our goal is to shine a light on marginalised communities that banded together to take care of one another, and how you can incorporate natural, plant-based wellness into your life to improve your health, ease your stress, and help your community.

    Episode Six: ‘E’ for Elder

    In this week’s episode, we first dive into some heavier, political topics specifically focusing in on the 70’s miners strikes here in the UK. We discuss the impact of the strikes on the working class, the reaction of the workers and the government, and the cost they had on families and quality of life. In addition, we discuss new foraging laws that were implemented during this time.   Following this, we talk about the Elder plant, more specifically its berries and leaves, as these are the edible parts of the plant. Caitlin shares some recipes and advice about its benefits and preparation. Follow us: @alchymishealing on Instagram

    Episode Four: ‘C’ for Cherry

    In today’s episode we talk about a heavier topic: systemic racism and the Black Panthers. Most of the discussion focuses on America, but we also touch on how similar issues have shown up in Europe and the UK. We look at the Panthers’ free clinics and their work advocating for better access to healthcare. After that, the conversation shifts to something calmer. We talk about the cherry tree and the benefits of its different components, and we finish the episode with a short meditation. Follow us: @alchymishealing on Instagram
